Add to basket8vo; original charcoal cloth, lettered in gilt on spine; dustwrapper; pp. 244, including index; plates. Dustwrapper rather rubbed and edgeworn; trace of light spotting to edges and endpapers. Good condition. "The reader of this book is invited to take part in a real adventure of detection. Instead of looking for the misprint on page 33 and the other minutiae of the first-edition collector, he is sent on a quest for the true reason for a book's existence. Mr. Collison shows how book-collecting can be a fascinating pursuit-and by no means an expensive one-that grows more rewarding as skill is acquired in a hobby calling on all the knowledge that can be accumulated in a lifetime.".
